About Me

DFW metro, Texas, United States
I was born in Dallas, Tx and other than living in California a couple of times, I have always lived in Tx. I am married to a wonderful man, MJ. I have two great daughters, Dee and Melanie. And two grandsons, Dylan and Tyler, who I love to have come visit. MJ has a great son Shaun who lives in Indiana, married to Julie and has our only granddaughter, at the moment, Kennah. I have 2 dogs. Max is a 105 lb English Lab, and Bear is a 13 yr old Min. Poodle. I like to work in the yard. I now have around 69 rose bushes in my back yard. 39 are miniature. I had more but lost some. The largest is a climber that is about 12 ft high x 18ft wide Seven Sisters Rose. It only blooms once a year in the spring, but it's worth it.

April is for tree climbers

 I had the family here yesterday for Easter.   Melanie and Dee worked on the wedding invitations.  We finished up today and Mel took them to the post office.  I am tired, but need to take the income tax in to the CPA tomorrow. I've been cleaning and shopping and getting our taxes together, for a week now.

After dinner Brad and Dylan were outside throwing a football and it was caught high in the neighbors tree.  I got some shots of Brad climbing up to try to shake it out.  Didn't work, but we all had fun watching.  They finally threw another one at it, and knocked it out
I haven't climbed a tree in at least 12 years.  I use to get up in the neighbor's tree with Dylan, but then my neighbor didn't like it.   Tree climbing was something I did a lot as a child.  But being 59 with osteoporosis, I guess my tree climbing days are over.  Unless I find a very  large tree house with a ladder.  Now that's a thought.

I have been looking into Brad's family history for him.  His surname is  Brunott.  His Great Grandfather came here from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland by way of Canada.  Very interesting.  I have met a very nice man in Canada who has helped me with research there and in Holland.  It is progressing nicely.  Hope to have some to show his Grandfather at the wedding.
